A caesarean section or C-section is a procedure where the baby is delivered surgically through the mother’s abdomen. These surgeries can be planned or in some cases recommended by the doctor when unexpected problems arise during the delivery. Who needs a caesarean? In some cases a caesarean is planned early in the pregnancy, sometimes women opt for a C-section over vaginal delivery but most cases are unplanned, and surgery is opted for due to labour complications like: Early pregnancy complication Baby is positioned such that it is coming out feet first Baby is coming out shoulder first Health issues like heart conditions or high BP in the mother The baby has reduced oxygen supply Developmental conditions in the baby The baby’s head is too large for the birth canal Stalled labour How is a caesarean section performed? Before a C-section, the mother is given anaesthesia, put on IV and a catheter is attached. Once properly medicated and numbed, the surgery begins with an incision being made right above the pubic hairline. This incision is usually horizontal and is made vertical only in certain emergencies. After the first incision has been made into the abdomen and the uterus is exposed, the second incision is made into the uterus from where the newborn is removed. Once the baby has been removed, it is cleared of fluids around its mouth, nose and then the umbilical cord is cut off. The uterus incision is repaired with dissolvable stitches and the abdomen is also closed with sutures. The baby is then taken for observation to ensure everything is fine and is breathing normally after which the baby is put in the mother’s arms.

It is defined as a natural way of bringing the baby into this world. It is not difficult to have natural and normal childbirth unless you have some medical complications. The vaginal birth process helps in having a healthy baby and a quick recovery. What are the signs and symptoms of Normal Delivery? You may experience changes a few weeks before the expected due date. However, the signs vary from one woman to another and from pregnancy to pregnancy. Symptoms that appear one to four weeks before labour: Lack of coordination Loosened joints Urge to urinate Braxton Hick’s contractions (false contractions) Dilation of the cervix Watery stools Advanced symptoms: Warm sensation in the abdomen Increasing contractions Vaginal bleeding Intensifying back pain Severe pain from contractions Why should you prefer Normal Delivery? Giving birth to a baby is a natural process, and the human body is designed for it. Healthy women may not even require painkillers or epidural. Here are a few points which will tell you why you should keep your delivery as natural as possible: Shorter Labour: Painkillers and epidurals slow down the contractions and increase the total labouring period. When you don’t feel the contractions, you will not know when to push and cannot progress to the labouring stage. Epidural leads to medical interventions: Epidural disconnects you from the natural push action, so doctors give uterine stimulants or assist delivery by vacuum or forceps. Healthier for both mom and baby: Normal delivery requires a short recovery time. Babies receive protective bacteria from the birth canal, which helps build their immune system. It also decreases the risk of respiratory diseases. Facilitates breastfeeding: Usually delivered babies adapt to breastfeeding with ease. Also the pain relievers given in C-section deliveries pass on to the baby through breastfeeding.

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, and most likely, the cervix. Depending on the reason for the surgery, a hysterectomy may involve removing surrounding organs and tissues, such as the fallopian tubes and ovaries.Uterine Conditions: Hysterectomies are often performed to treat various uterine conditions, such as uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus), endometriosis (a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus), adenomyosis (when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular walls of the uterus), and abnormal uterine bleeding. Cancer: In cases of uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer, a hysterectomy may be performed as part of the treatment plan to remove the cancerous tissue. Depending on the extent of the cancer and whether it has spread, other reproductive organs like the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix might also be removed.

Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus (womb). Another medical term for fibroids is leiomyoma (leye-oh-meye-OH-muh) or just "myoma". Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Fibroids can grow as a single tumor, or there can be many of them in the uterus.
